I loved being able to stay just a few minutes' walk from the Royal Mile for such a reasonable price. We could make our own meals too. It is very budget-friendly.

I liked that we could walk to most of the monuments and restaurants from the hostel and that there was a lift to all the apartments. There was a shower room with a toilet and an extra toilet room, which was better than just one shared bathroom. The whole experience was better than I expected.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Very central location.

There are rooms with big noise from the pub downstairs at night. I stayed 8 nights there and my room was never cleaned! The toilets never had soap!! It should be cheaper for the facilities it provided.

The location of this hostel is great! The staff were friendly and helpful.The room were ok and the showers were clean and had warm water (once you knew where the hot water switch was).

The room we had (twin in an apartment of 6) was quite smelly. It smelled a bit of wet socks. Unfortunately opening the window did not help too much. It was a bit of a shame since otherwise the rooms were fine.

Good location, just 5 min to the Royal Mile

Everything else is sixpenny. Impossible to sleep if your room faces the street (a couple of bars nest door open till 5 am, music and cheerful youngsters shouting in the street all night). Moreover you hear every sound your neigbours produce. Bad door locks everywhere. Twice I just could not get out of the bathroom and had to shout for help. The whole list of misfortunes is too long to be written here.

The bedding and room were clean.

Right next to fringe festival venue with lots of street noise, yelling etc right outside my window. The bed was very hard. The toilet blocked up and water all over the floor. The need for four pages of information to log onto wifi.
It is poorly signed and hard to find.

The location, within a stone's throw from the Royal Mile.
The friendly, helpful staff.
The cleanliness of the rooms

The location - in a street with seven nightclubs, so very noisy.
The kitchen - untidy and needed a good cleaning out.
The bathroom facilities - one bathroom for five rooms, shower washbasin and toilet in one room only.

The location is very good, right in the center of town and walking distance to many nice places. The price is also very good.

Well, it's not a hotel so I wouldn't expect the same kind of service, but the staff at the reception were a bit confused, took a long time to find my booking despite me having a print-out of the confirmation. The bed felt lumpy due to the exposed springs. An extra mattress wouldn't hurt. Lastly, there was one bathroom in my corridor (with maybe 10-12 or so rooms, didn't count), with the shower in the same room. This meant that if someone went for a shower the bathroom was busy for quite a long time. More bathrooms would have been nice, but at least I think the bathroom should be separated from the shower room.

Location, comfort, price (even during the Festival).

A little bit unfriendly the staff, to much work oriented. And why they don't try to understand us when leaving and ask us to pay for left luggage. Or to pay for late check-out. It is not polite. I think. Thank you!

Location, location, location. Close to all Festival venues and Royal Mile.

Location again. It's quiet in the daytime but there are many bars on the street below, which seem to be open all night. Drunks shouting along the street at all hours.
Also, I wish there had been breakfast available, more than just a bun and coffee.
